207 - No Mistakes in Nature, We Make Mistakes ("Life Comes From Life" Chapter 14)

Dr. Singh. But science seems to have evidence that different species of life do arise by mistakes. Śrīla Prabhupāda. That is their mistake! In the laws of nature there are no mistakes. In railway cars there are first-class, second-class and third-class sections. If you purchase a third-class ticket but by mistake go to the first-class section, you will not be allowed to stay there. It is not a mistake that there are sections; that is the arrangement. But it is your mistake that you have gone to the wrong section. So, God is so thorough that He knows all the mistakes that will be made. Therefore, according to the mistakes you commit, you enter a particular body: "Here, come here. The body is ready." There are 8,400,000 species of life, and nature works, assigning different bodies, with mathematical precision. When the government builds a city, it builds a prison even before the city is completed, because the government knows that there will be many criminals who will have to go to prison. This is not the government's mistake; it is the mistake of the criminals. Because they become criminals, they have to go there. It is their mistake. In nature there are no mistakes. Kṛṣṇa says: mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥsūyate sacarācaramhetunānena kaunteyajagad viparivartate "This material nature is working under My direction, O son of Kuntī, and producing all moving and nonmoving beings." (BG 9.10) Nature works under the supervision of God, Kṛṣṇa, so how can nature make mistakes? But we commit mistakes, we are illusioned, our senses are imperfect, and we cheat. That is the difference between God and man. God does not have imperfect senses; His senses are perfect. | read along with us: biglink.to/lifecomesfromlife
